Free Web NovelChapter 554: Chapter 317: Grand Finale_2
Even though this sword might have lost its purpose, in this situation, every bit of the unknown is a hope for victory!
However, hope and miracles, such words in this cosmos, are forever the cruelest comfort.
Countless civilizations destroyed by the Mude System, countless wailing lives, all once yearned endlessly for the appearance of a miracle, yet, in the interstellar claiming that everything is possible, the only miracle that appeared belonged to humanity.
Even humanity’s miracle wasn’t truly a miracle at all.
So, in the moment Shen Shi made his move, everything vanished.
Be it the Pasture Master or all the fantasy warships, they all disappeared abruptly in this way.
They were erased from existence itself by Shen Shi from the temporal dimension.
"This is the power of dimensions..." Shen Shi looked at his own palm.
He easily resolved the enemies entangling him for over ten thousand years, yet Shen Shi felt not much joy in his heart.
Instead, there was a faint sense of loss.
It was too simple.
Though having such a simple ending serve as the fruition of his over ten thousand years of effort, struggle, and worry might seem the best reward, this made Shen Shi realize with even more clarity that the entire universe really has nothing worth his attention anymore.
Even without an invitation from the Pan-Humanity Guardian Association, developing towards a broader world was something he would inevitably do.
Shen Shi’s figure flickered, returning to Human Civilization. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
At this moment, all of humanity was loudly cheering for their victory.
Not only them, but all civilizations that had joined the Human Interstellar Empire were also cheering.
Even some among them were previously members of the Thousand Alliance or the Mude System.
But no matter what, they won this time, and they would have a more beautiful future, just knowing these points was enough.
And when some of the council members discovered Shen Shi’s figure.
The cheers gradually subsided.
Everyone’s gaze turned toward him.
First, it was excitement, then it turned into admiration, and afterwards, unknowingly from whom it started, a trace of fear and awe suddenly appeared, growing increasingly more.
The Pasture Master was defeated, but the new interstellar overlord was right in front of them.
With no enemies left, this was the next existence that could control their life and death, their future, even their everything.
"Ladies and gentlemen—" Shen Shi’s voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears, "We won, but the journey of Human Civilization has not ended, now, I announce, that I will gradually fade from my daily duties, and lead Human Civilization to explore the unknown realms, beyond the cosmos, this will be my next step with the entire Human Interstellar Empire!"
After this sentence, everyone had a momentary silence.
Until they truly understood the meaning within Shen Shi’s words.
Then came astonishment, followed by even greater cheers.
The trace of fear earlier had long vanished without a trace.
The reason was simple.
They saw the path ahead, they didn’t need to be confused, more importantly, it also meant that the human Sage Saint would cast his gaze afar, rather than upon them.
And while this news was crazily spreading, Shen Shi silently arrived at Ai Xin’Er’s side.
Even though more than ten thousand years had passed, every time he physically saw Ai Xin’Er, there was a sense of first meeting, because she seemed never to have changed.
But in reality... who could truly remain unchanged for ten thousand years?
Human perception, human growth, everything, they all change.
Ai Xin’Er merely understands her greatest role to her husband.
She understands that on her person is bound Shen Shi’s "original heart."
This, in fact, is the greatest affection a wife can have for her husband.
"I’m back." The thousand words in Shen Shi’s heart eventually turned into this single sentence.
And Ai Xin’Er’s face also revealed a radiant smile.
But just as Shen Shi prepared to step forward and embrace her, he heard a voice seemingly squeezed out from between clenched teeth.
"You still dare to come back?"
"..." Shen Shi’s tender expression suddenly stiffened on his face.
"Back then I didn’t argue with you because of the critical moment, now that the situation outside is solved, look, you tell me, this, this, and this! How will you resolve it!"
With Ai Xin’Er with one hand on her hip, pointing with the other, a few Ai Xin’Er looking almost identical in appearance walked out, their expressions unfriendly.
Four in total, maintaining the same actions, staring intently at Shen Shi.
"..." Shen Shi suddenly wanted to use temporal power to escape.
"Speak, what do you have to say?" The Ai Xin’Er from the main world had already stood with hands on hips.
"Alas." Shen Shi sighed long and deeply, showing a wistful expression, "I just want to say, love between high-dimensional and low-dimensional creatures... indeed won’t be blissful."
"...What nonsense?"
The fact proved, even the human Sage Saint who completely changed the fate of humanity and the cosmos, the new cosmic overlord, couldn’t get away with it in front of his own wife.
In summary, after a tussle, the Human Interstellar Empire embarked on a brand-new future.
In the initial few hundred years, aside from changes in relevant industries, Shen Shi’s greatest gain was making "friendly contact" with all the discovered systems throughout the cosmos.
Actually, the number wasn’t much.
Because the deep rules of this cosmos seemed to have only stabilized completely around a million years ago.
Before that, some civilizations indeed emerged.
However, those able to step out of star systems were extremely few, coupled with the instability of Primordial Energy rules, most of them destroyed themselves in chaos.
And those lucky to survive mostly became the earliest cosmic overlords.
Among them, many were gradually destroyed in the long years.
Ultimately, only eleven interstellar social systems remained, not only undestroyed but became extremely powerful.
Shen Shi did not choose to conquer all these interstellar social systems.
He even signed peace treaties with them.
He needed to give the Human Interstellar Empire some competitive pressure to serve as motivation to move forward.
And fortunately, the rules of this cosmos are still continuously evolving.
New rules emerge endlessly.
Faster even than the rate of civilization’s development.
This also ensures that the Human Interstellar Empire does not have to worry about having no path ahead in the short term.
Of course, developing rapidly as before is already impossible—during the long period, Human Civilization has been continuously learning, resulting in an extremely weak independent development capability, this shortcoming arguably needs even more prolonged time to compensate.
Fortunately, what Human Civilization now lacks least is time.
As for Shen Shi, when the millennial period arrived, he quietly awaited alone.
He had already inquired.
Joining the Pan-Humanity Guardian Association does not mean completely leaving this cosmos; crossing cosmic distances is apparently not a problem at all for the Pan-Humanity Guardian Association.
In other words, Shen Shi can freely come and go.
This made some of his original concerns utterly meaningless.
There’s not even a need to take Ai Xin’Er along any longer.
Even this time, it was merely to recognize the way.
So when the golden shining gate appeared before Shen Shi, he slowly stepped forward, and in front of him was a woman in ancient attire, her beauty seeming almost not of a real person.
"Hello, my name is Ding Xiang." The woman who introduced herself as Ding Xiang slightly bowed, smiling, "The president has already prepared a banquet, waiting for your arrival."
Shen Shi looked past her at the golden steps rising, faintly seeing a commonplace figure at the peak of the steps.
